Parenting: Singing to children
Why should parents be encouraging their children to sing and how should they go about it if they aren't particularly musical themselves?

Jane is joined by Dr Saoirse O’Sullivan, Associate Professor, Faculty of Medicine & Health Sciences at Nottingham University to talk about her research into the health benefits of singing and Fran Hannan, a former music teacher, now managing director of Musical Futures, a not-for-profit that helps teachers improve their singing and music skills.
